I spent the entire Labor Day hol\u00adi\u00adday mov\u00ading, both my com\u00adpa\u00adny and my fam\u00adi\u00adly. It was a very mean\u00ading\u00adful Labor Day. My new home does\u00adn\u2019t have inter\u00adnet access, so I can\u2019t keep track of my finances for now. Today, I went back to my old place to get online and jot down a few things.
\n
\nMay Day hap\u00adpened to be the full month since Hen\u00adry came to Xiaoy\u00adin\u2019s house, and it was also on this day that they start\u00aded mov\u00ading into the new house.
\n <\/p>\n
At 5:30 in the morn\u00ading, I was still asleep when I sud\u00adden\u00adly felt my toes get cold and wet. I woke up and real\u00adized it was Hen\u00adry lick\u00ading me, remind\u00ading me, \u201cIt\u2019s dawn, time to go for a walk!\u201d I did\u00adn\u2019t know whether to laugh or cry. I could\u00adn\u2019t sleep any\u00adway, so I took him down\u00adstairs. Lit\u00adtle did he know that this was the day we were mov\u00ading to our new home.
\n <\/p>\n
In his new home, Hen\u00adry has a spa\u00adcious bal\u00adcony that\u2019s well-enclosed, keep\u00ading him warm in the win\u00adter. Besides a nest on the bal\u00adcony, there\u2019s also a mat in the cor\u00adner of the liv\u00ading room where he can sleep when\u00adev\u00ader he wants. There\u2019s also a small cab\u00adi\u00adnet on the bal\u00adcony that\u2019s per\u00adfect for stor\u00ading all his belongings\u2014it\u2019s Hen\u00adry\u2019s clos\u00adet.
\n <\/p>\n
But at first, it did\u00adn\u2019t seem to like its new home very much. It defe\u00adcat\u00aded and uri\u00adnat\u00aded in the kitchen, bal\u00adcony, and bath\u00adroom, and also on the wood\u00aden floor in the liv\u00ading room. But it grad\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly learned to use the bath\u00adroom in its new home. But it was indeed a lit\u00adtle uncom\u00adfort\u00adable at first.
\n <\/p>\n
Our new home was twice as big as our old one, but not far away. We only had to car\u00adry things back and forth our\u00adselves, and Hen\u00adry tagged along. On the sec\u00adond night after mov\u00ading into our new home, I took Hen\u00adry back to our old house to get some\u00adthing. Once there, he sim\u00adply lay on the floor and refused to move. I opened the door, but no mat\u00adter how I called him, he would\u00adn\u2019t come out. I turned off the lights and pre\u00adtend\u00aded to close the door before leav\u00ading, but he still would\u00adn\u2019t move. This was unthink\u00adable before. Final\u00adly, I had to car\u00adry him out of the room.
\n <\/p>\n
But he quick\u00adly adapt\u00aded to his new home. After all, he has more space to play, and oth\u00ader chil\u00addren come to play with him every day. Last night, I took him back to his old home to get some\u00adthing, and he was just the oppo\u00adsite. He refused to even enter the old house. While I was inside clean\u00ading up, he wait\u00aded at the door, as if he knew I was about to leave.
\n
\nAt the turn of spring and sum\u00admer, Hen\u00adry seemed to be becom\u00ading more and more bold and more inde\u00adpen\u00addent-mind\u00aded.
\n <\/p>\n
On the morn\u00ading of May 2nd, Xiaoyin and I took him for a walk. We arrived at our usu\u00adal pool, which was already filled with water and stocked with gold\u00adfish. Hen\u00adry ran off to the bam\u00adboo grove across the pool. We called him over, wav\u00ading a lit\u00adtle chick\u00aden strip. He imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly became excit\u00aded and leaped into the pool. But he real\u00adized he was going the wrong way halfway through and swam back, but when he reached the edge, he could\u00adn\u2019t get out. Per\u00adhaps his fur was too wet and heavy. We quick\u00adly rushed over to get him out and ran all the way home to give him a bath and a dry-er. Coin\u00adci\u00adden\u00adtal\u00adly, it was time for a bath here, too.
\n <\/p>\n
There\u2019s a female dog in the neigh\u00adbor\u00adhood that\u2019s been caus\u00ading trou\u00adble for the oth\u00ader dogs, caus\u00ading sev\u00ader\u00adal of the male dogs to become increas\u00ading\u00adly dis\u00adobe\u00addi\u00adent. I often see own\u00aders look\u00ading for their dogs these past few days. Per\u00adhaps this \u201clove\u201d has the pup\u00adpies \u201ccry\u00ading out for each oth\u00ader to the bit\u00adter end,\u201d even dis\u00adre\u00adgard\u00ading their own\u00aders. Hen\u00adry seems to be get\u00adting worse, and I have to use a leash for my evening walks. Last night, I did\u00adn\u2019t have a leash on, and he ran away, run\u00adning far away from me. No mat\u00adter how I called him, he would\u00adn\u2019t come back. I chased him, but he kept hid\u00ading, as if he knew he\u2019d have to go home if he caught me. After a long bat\u00adtle of wits and strength, I final\u00adly caught him. This lit\u00adtle ras\u00adcal seemed to know he was wrong and kept hid\u00ading on the ground, but I still had to spank him twice. It real\u00adly makes me angry. The lit\u00adtle guy does\u00adn\u2019t know the dan\u00adger. What if he gets lost?
\n
\nI\u2019ve found out that dog licens\u00ades are avail\u00adable in Bei\u00adjing in May or June. I\u2019m still won\u00adder\u00ading if it\u2019s nec\u00ades\u00adsary to have Hen\u00adry neutered.
\n <\/p>\n
Xiaoyin has been doing a great job these past few days. Know\u00ading her par\u00adents were busy mov\u00ading and did\u00adn\u2019t want to play with their friends, she helped them move and pack, and was also pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly respon\u00adsi\u00adble for tak\u00ading care of Hen\u00adry. She\u2019s a very respon\u00adsi\u00adble lit\u00adtle sis\u00adter. It\u2019s just that she was so tired at night that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down in bed, so she could\u00adn\u2019t tell Hen\u00adry\u2019s sto\u00adry\u2026
